Ga Tech Wins ACC Football Championship

Georgia Tech won its first conference title since 1998 on Saturday night, topping the Clemson Tigers 39-34 in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game in Tampa. Tech's Yellow Jackets will head to the Orange Bowl on January 5th in Miami.

The 12th-ranked Yellow Jackets saw a 13-point lead evaporate in the contest when Clemson scored a go-ahead touchdown with 6:11 to play. But down 34-33, Tech took the ensuing possession and marched 86-yards down the field. The drive was capped by Jonathan Dwyer's 15-yard touchdown run to the left corner of the end zone with 1:25 remaining. Tech's defense was able to hold-off the Tigers in their next possession to cement the victory.
